hmmm i dont get what is wrong with fact that something being "mainstream metal" expect that most of it sucks.. in the end ton of undeground acts was influenced by mainsteam metal in one way or another

It's because people confuse "less known/unknown/it's got less than 1000 views on youtube" with "underground" nowadays. : P Newsted is a metalhead and a dedicated one imo. He only played in good bands (aside from his fun projects), while he could easily release mediocre stuff for quick cash grab._________________Sic transit gloria mundi

Great EP. Sounds closer to AJFA slower moments/The Black album than Load/Re-Load to my ears.
Wonder if it is true, that NEWSTED will release 4 EP's first, then an album, which makes it seem the 4 will be compiled later on?

yep thats definitely my thoughts!

though i meant a bit different there is plenty of "enough good for mainstream metal" etc etc etc... sound like undeground stuff is supreme compare to mainstream. and well it makes me at least a bit smile

not true...the next release will be a full length

Can't fucking wait. Soldierhead was ok but I don't think I could stomach a full plate of Newsted._________________"Let the evil be my food."

He said that in January. Did you see someplace else after or before, where he said differently?
Just curious, as I hope he is not the kind of guy to milk fans.
The EP and package deals he made for fans make it look like he still understands underground metal fans.
